Mature
She's the psychiatrist who believes she can fix anyone.
She's the mafia boss who swore never to feel again.
Neither expected to unravel for the other.


                                   * * * | | * * *


When Dr. Abigail Love is assigned to oversee the court-mandated therapy of Leno August-a silent, scarred ex-con with eyes like loaded guns-she treats it like any other case. Detached. Controlled. Clinical.

But Leno is no ordinary client.

Cold, calculating, and hiding something dangerous beneath the surface, she isn't looking to be saved. She's playing her own game-and Abigail is suddenly a piece on the board.

As sessions unfold, walls begin to crack. Obsession simmers beneath the silence. And the line between professional and personal blurs until it all starts to feel inevitable.

Leno is a woman built from trauma and tempered in violence.

Abigail is a woman sworn to neutrality.

But some hearts aren't meant to heal-
And some connections are too dangerous to ignore.

In a room full of secrets, what happens when the one thing you weren't trained to do... is fall?

"Touch me, Blaze... and you'll remember me every time something beautiful dies." -- She was the only sin he'd die to confess. So he destroyed his kingdom for her absolution. -- 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫. Power built their world. Power destroyed it. She pulled the trigger that turned his hate into a kingdom of fire, and now fate binds them to the same war. Hate keeps them sharp. Hate keeps them alive. But hate is just another mask for power. And when it cracks, they'll both discover the cost of letting go. -- In a city ruled by blood and silence, some names are spoken only in whispers. New York breathes violence like smoke-its kings crowned in crime, its peace bought in bodies. Blaze Marino, heir to a fractured Italian empire, doesn't believe in myths. He believes in control. In power. In pain as currency. But when a woman with white hair and a scar like prophecy crashes a masquerade of monsters, everything changes. She moves like fire. Vanishes like smoke. Leaves no name, no trail-just destruction and desire. And with her, the game changes. As alliances crack and old ghosts crawl from the shadows, Blaze finds himself caught between revenge and something far more dangerous: curiosity. Obsession. A pull he can't explain. They say saints die young. But what if she was never a saint at all? And if she was- maybe she always knew how her story would end.

Where Mercy Sleeps by sexiijutsu
52 parts Complete Mature
Synopsis: Her parents raised her to save lives. He was born to take them. At twenty-three, Dr. Evangeline James has her dream job and a haunted heart. One of Manhattan's youngest pediatric surgeons, she spends her days stitching up children and her nights keeping her demons in check. Raised under her parents' strict Southern roof-with gospel in her ears and shame stitched into her spine-Evangeline ran to New York for more than ambition. She came for air. For control. For secrets. She never expected to find him-a man bleeding to death behind a dumpster in the freezing cold, clutching a gun like it was a lifeline. One look into those brutal, obsidian eyes and Evangeline knew: this man was not a victim. He was a threat. And somehow, she still brought him home. He said his name was Lorenzo DeLuca. She knew it belonged to a monster. Not just a mafia prince-but the heir to the DeLuca empire. A man carved from violence and baptized in blood. A man who's used to getting what he wants-and now he wants her. Lorenzo is sin in human form. dark silk, loaded guns, and soft-spoken commands. He makes promises that sound like threats and touches her like she's already his. He says he'll protect her from his world-but his world is made of bodies, betrayal, and war. And Evangeline? She's no saint. What begins as a mercy spirals into a dangerous obsession. He's possessive. Unforgiving. Addicted. And the deeper Evangeline falls into Lorenzo's shadows, the more she questions everything-her morals, her loyalties, even her own pleasure. Because nothing about this is holy. Nothing about him is safe. But God, she craves him anyway. And she might not survive what loving him will cost.
The unexpected  by poetically_von
22 parts Ongoing Mature
Von kills like she breathes-calm, cold, constant. Tahani doesn't just watch people die-she decides when. Vonn'asia, or just Von, is twenty-three and deadly as fuck. A storm with a trigger finger. Raised in blood, forged in silence, she's carved her name into the city's bones. She doesn't flinch, doesn't forgive, and damn sure doesn't fear. People say her name when they pray no one's listening. When she hunts, she doesn't leave witnesses-she leaves warnings. Then one night, bleeding and laughing like death ain't never met her, she runs into Tahani Aguado-a quiet girl in blue scrubs with hands too steady, eyes too knowing. Tahani is twenty-two. Mysterious. Methodical. And vicious behind closed doors. Her body count's a whisper, her smile a trap, and her heart? Frostbitten beyond repair. She's been surviving off precision kills and secrets too heavy to speak. She doesn't help people. She ends them. But something about Von made her open that door. Made her act against every rule she's lived by. Now the city's about to bleed. Two women built from violence. Both with pasts that could burn empires down. One running from chaos. One becoming it. What started with a single bullet explodes into something brutal-lust, loyalty, betrayal, and bodies stacking too fast to count. In a world where mercy is weakness, and love is a liability, Von and Tahani don't fall for each other- They crash. Hard. And when killers collide? Some cities never recover.

The Caretaker He Bought

24 parts Ongoing Mature

"You're not here to fall in love." "Trust me, sir... I don't even know what that means." She was sold like a possession-traded away by the very people who were supposed to protect her. At just seventeen, she finds herself in a cold, unfamiliar mansion owned by a powerful man known for his silence, strict rules, and a heartbreak he never talks about. His only condition? Take care of his one-year-old daughter. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't enter his study. Never touch him. For her, following orders is nothing new. Obedience has kept her alive this long. But the baby's soft cries break something inside her, and her tender touch begins to warm a house that forgot what love felt like. He tells himself she's just a caretaker. Just a temporary solution. But night after night, she shatters rule after rule... And soon, his heart becomes the final one to break. 🎯 π†πžπ§π«πž Genre: Romance / Drama / Slow Burn / Hurt-Comfort Age rating: 16+ (emotional abuse themes, mature emotional content)
